It is very cute, just a little disappointed that it seems a little narrow. Good thing they are canvas and should stretch. Light weight shoe, so hardly feel them. I wouldn't order a larger size to help with width, because then they will be too long.

I ordered these from the Keds website and was very pleased when I got them. I am a teacher, so I am on my feet all day and I am also very heavyset, and I wear Keds to work because they have been one of the only kinds of shoes that provide enough support for me not to be in pain at the ned of the day. These are casual and comfortable but interesting enough that they work with a skirt and tights in a business-casual environment, and I really like that the pattern does not match on both shoes. Keds are usually hard to break in and give me blisters but I did not get any blisters from these at all. They are a little narrow, but because they are fabric they have some give to them right away. My only complaint is that for some reason the left shoe was tighter than the right shoe and was uncomfortable initially but after I wore them for a bit it became less of an issue.

These shoes are great. They are is so comfortable, feeling as though they do not have a heels at all. Although I love them, I do have two concerns. First, I normally wear a size 8½, but I had to get an 8 in these. Second, I have really high arches and there is not much arch support but that is not a huge deal. I had wanted the beige color but it was out of stock so I had to settle for the black which is still cute, too.

I ordered these in the beige leather, and the color was a little more matte than I expected from the photo (nothing a little polish can't fix). The fit is true to size, but the ankle strap was a little loose (could use a few more holes in the strap to tighten the buckle). In terms of comfort, these are great -- the sole feels padded, almost like a sneaker. The insides of the straps and area over the foot are also lined with a soft material which is a nice bonus. I normally don't buy Clarks sandals and these were a little pricier than I would normally pay for the brand, but these are really cute on and heel height is great. As always, Zappos service was amazing, I received these less than 24 hours after I placed my order.

These are terrific shoes. I have them in 8.5 W -- I have wide feet with a very high arch -- they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The T-strap top doesn't bother me at all, and I usually have lots of problems with straps over my arch. Also length & width are perfect. I wear these a lot -- walking in the Atlanta airport is a true test for comfort and these passed with flying colors. Perhaps the true test was walking my granddaughter to school and running in them in order to cross the street in time for the crossing guard! I'm 51 years old and my 29 year old daughter was impressed with her mom -- and she wants my shoes. Well worth the money.

Love the neutral color and t-strap design of this shoe. The leather is soft and the shoe sizing is true to size for me 8.5 Med. Haven't worn it out yet but tried it on and walked 3-4 times.

Love, love, love these shoes. Haven't worn them yet but tried them on and walked around my office. They are like walking on air. Got to have them on all colors but I'll have to catch a sale!

Toe bed too pointy and it accentuated my bunion. It's too bad, because otherwise, they were cute!

I am so happy with these shoes. They look great, and are super comfortable. Cute with dresses/skirts, but also with slim fit cropped pants. I highly recommend them!

I get so many compliments on this shoe. It is so so comfortable staying true to Clarks. The heel is not too high but picks up the outfit. Love this shoe.

Love this shoe. I like to be up-to-date and stylish but not too trendy. It just doesn't work on me. These shoes are perfect in every way. The beige leather has a suede texture which makes them a nice neutral. The shoe is very comfortable for my picky feet. I am usually an 8 or 8.5. Definitely needed an 8 on this one. Buy it!
